Heather was such an amazing guide! She was extremely knowledgeable, funny, passionate, and truly cared about our safety. It was an insanely busy Saturday night in October and she still kept us captivated the whole time! Thank you for a great experience Heather!

Was a bit disappointed after reading the reviews for Veronica’s tours. Unfortunately there wasn’t much murder or mystery as the stories were not told in a truly coherent manner. I understand that this is an incredibly busy time and the guides must be totally worn out. My suggestion is maybe someone else should have conducted this tour. We were prepared for interesting stories as this was an adult only tour but only a 3 new stories (though not well narrated) were revealed which separated it from other tours we have taken. V was more concerned about the group being cold and tired, which we were not, than going into deeper story details. There wasn’t anything mentioned that a much younger person could not of heard. Sorry I had to give this rating as I had really been looking forward to this.
